Beyond its magnificent mountains, wonderful rivers and alluring forests, Carmarthenshire boasts a variety of excellent restaurants.
Here is a list of the top 10 best restaurants in Carmarthenshire as rated by TripAdvisor.
10. Towy Bridge Inn
In position ten we have Towy Bridge Inn, Llandovery.
Reviews commend the business for it's beautiful scenery, cosiness and Sunday lunch.
Representing Kidwelly, The Old Moathouse has around 80 reviews and an average rating of 4.8 stars.
According to a recent review: "The food was amazing. Best Sunday dinner that I’ve ever had. Every mouthful was literally melting in my mouth. I am definitely going back for more."
With just 30 reviews, Ty Glo in Laugharne is a surprising addition to this list.
However, when you consider it has a rating 4.9 stars out of five and vast majority of it's reviews appreciating it's exquisite food and atmosphere - it all makes sense.
Number seven is the Springwell Inn Restaurant in Pendine.
You only need to look at the reviews to see you will be served a scrumptious portion of homemade food along with excellent service.
With a 4.8 star rating out of five and almost 1000 reviews, it’s no surprise The Warren on Mansel Street is ranked as the sixth best restaurant in Carmarthenshire.
This is another place that provides meaty masterpieces but it’s selection of high-quality ice cream is a quirky option allowing it to stand out from other carnivorous establishments.
Plus, The Warren takes pride in using local produce, so everything served is fresh and not out of a tin.
Dexter seems to be the man when it comes to serving steak because there is a steakhouse on King Street ranked as the second-best restaurant in Laugharne.
This restaurant offers brilliant service and well-presented dishes.
The only noticeable difference is the steakhouse in King Street opens from 5:30-9pm during the week and 12pm-9pm on Sunday, whereas Coracle Way maintains the same 12pm-10pm hours throughout the week.
The New Curiosity on King Street, Carmarthen is not the cheapest restaurant in Carmarthenshire.
But there is nothing on their menu that will disappoint you.
Vegetarians can delve into a winter salad with roasted sweet potato, tenderstem broccoli, pomegranate, pickled beetroot and balsamic caviar for starter then a butternut squash, chestnut and cranberry cake with roast potatoes for main.
Meanwhile, carnivores can indulge into a chicken liver parfait with rapeseed crispbread for starter followed by slow roasted silverside of beef, Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes.
Then there is a delightful selection of desserts like a seasonal fruit crumble or a Teifi coffee and Merlyn Liquor affogato.

A review from this month said: "We visited this lovely place last week whilst staying with friends nearby. It's more of a quality restaurant than a pub, the food is excellent as was the service.
"The landlord/ owner is very friendly and explained in detail why the chips ate probably the best we've ever had.
"The Persian style lamb shank was superb as were all the other plates we sampled. We will definitely return when we are in the area, also prices are very good."
